Chapter 674 - 430: Path of Invincibility

Chapter 674: Chapter 430: Path of Invincibility

Warriors have always grown through battle.

And Chi Cheng’s growth was clearly far more special than that of an ordinary Warrior.

Lu Cang could feel the thunder gradually transforming into Chi Cheng’s own power. He was clearly growing stronger...

"WHOOSH—"

Gripping his Heavy Sword horizontally, he let out a long breath.

His breath was laced with thunder.

FWOOSH!

In the next instant, Chi Cheng was engulfed in fire, becoming a man of Flame as his body ignited!

Amidst the flickering Flames, Lu Cang could still feel that tenacious Battle Intent.

As the thunder surged, the Flames even crackled, entwined with lightning. His power seemed to be climbing still, growing even stronger.

BOOM!

Suddenly, he saw the thunder and fire explode!

A torrent of Flame, like stampeding thunder, surged toward him!

However, under the ten-thousand-fold time dilation, the movement was absurdly slow, like a high-speed train from Earth in slow motion.

Chi Cheng was even trying to counterattack.

Lu Cang felt a stir of restlessness.

’I actually kind of want to have a bare-knuckled brawl with Chi Cheng.’

’But...’

Compared to a pure, head-on physical fight, Lu Cang was more eager to test whether he could defeat Chi Cheng in his current, complete combat state, with all his abilities at his disposal.

SWISH—

As that bolt of thunder and Fire charged forward,

Lu Cang waved his hand again.

This time, pure Ice, pure Light, pure dark, pure wind—

Each a perfectly fused Tier Six Elemental Magic, they all simultaneously blanketed Chi Cheng.

CRACK—

Light and dark seeped into Chi Cheng’s body.

His burning form froze into Ice, while wind, leaving no opening untouched, entered his body, slicing into every single inch.

Even the smallest particle of the Wind Element condensed into a razor-sharp Wind Blade.

A kaleidoscope of Elements spun around him.

Chi Cheng’s entire body was twisted like a vortex, on the verge of being torn to shreds on the spot!

"Brother Chi Cheng."

"This is pretty much everything I’ve learned in my life. Even if you lose to me like this, you’re still incredibly strong."

’In terms of experience,’

’the time that’s passed since Chi Cheng became a Warrior isn’t even as long as my own lifespan.’

Twisting.

Collapsing.

Within the range of Elemental Initiation, the Effect of using Elemental Magic was far more powerful than under normal circumstances.

Not to mention, Lu Cang’s was Beyond Magic, and a complete elemental Fusion Magic at that.

With these three factors stacked together,

the Power of this Elemental Magic was no less than that of a true Tier Eight Magic.

If the thunder that struck Chi Cheng had landed directly on the Ruelun Continent, it could have easily sunk the entire continent.

’To be precise,’

’within a radius of a million kilometers, not a single speck of ash would likely remain.’

’The true kill Range would radiate out for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of kilometers, and then some.’

’It just couldn’t compare to a true Tier Nine Elemental Magic, which would incinerate tens of millions of kilometers of ocean in its first second of existence...’

’If Chi Cheng is defeated by this one attack of mine,’

’it wouldn’t be an unjust loss.’

’No... an unjust loss?’

Lu Cang’s eyes stared at the twisting, collapsing, formless vortex of Elements.

But he had already seen the Future that was about to unfold!

CRACK—

A Warrior, stained with a rainbow of colors, tore through the Elements with his bare hands and fought his way out of the distortion.

Lu Cang felt a pure power pushing the Elements apart.

"Little Lu Cang."

"It seems everything you’ve learned still isn’t quite enough!"

His Spirituality guided his gaze.

Lu Cang saw that all his Magic seemed to have become Chi Cheng’s Source of power. His own Elements had become like a sun at Chi Cheng’s back, endlessly strengthening him.

"This is the first time I’ve revealed it to you, isn’t it? My Constitution."

His pale face looked up.

He spread his arms wide, as if to embrace Lu Cang’s Magic.

"This Constitution allows me to draw power from any Skill of the same tier."

Lu Cang was using Tier Six Magic.

So naturally, Chi Cheng could absorb it.

"Furthermore, I can make a portion of this power permanent. However, to do so requires enduring a difficult, bitter battle—the kind that puts you in life-or-death danger."

"And before, only Iz could satisfy both of those conditions for me."

Chi Cheng bathed in the Magic, yet his tone was even more relaxed than before.

"With your help, I’ve managed to obtain an even higher level of power."

"Lu Cang, you’ve really caught up to us."

Chi Cheng once again took up his Heavy Sword stance.

"And thanks to you, I’ve finally grasped that level of intent."

He settled into a stance, ready to strike.

As he took this stance, Lu Cang felt all the Elemental Magic he had unleashed on Chi Cheng line up neatly behind him.

It was clearly his own Magic, yet it had become a part of Chi Cheng, like a Source of power.

His Final Sense sent an unavoidable warning!

Even before Chi Cheng made his move, his Final Sense had foreseen it.

Although it was unavoidable, Lu Cang had already conceived of a way to deal with the attack.

However...

His Intuition gave him the feedback to avoid the brunt of the attack.

Lu Cang’s choice, however, was to test it.

Chi Cheng’s lips parted, and a soft voice drifted out: "Worldly affairs are finite, the myriad paths are inconstant, all pursuits complex—yet a single force can shatter them all."

SWISH!

"Path of Invincibility, First Form."

"Infinite Severance."

The Heavy Sword swung out, moving with extreme slowness within the slowed time. Under normal circumstances, he could have dodged such a slow slash no matter what.

But.

He felt as if his own Time had also been frozen.

He had become just as slow as Chi Cheng.

Lu Cang experienced what Chi Cheng had felt. His own perception of time was now, like Chi Cheng’s had been, slowed by a factor of ten thousand.

And in Chi Cheng’s eyes, everything in the outside world was accelerated by a factor of ten thousand.

SWISH—

In that instant, Lu Cang seemed to see the evolution of the world’s myriad paths in his eyes. He saw the Planter forcing plants to grow, he saw the Observer perceiving all things, he saw the evolution of Magic, he saw the silence of the Assassin...

In that single glance, in that single moment, ten thousand paths rushed by.

And a Heavy Sword followed close behind.

It split open all paths in the world!

BOOM!

Then, that sword was cleaving down right before his eyes!

Path of Invincibility—First Form: Infinite Severance

With pure power, sever all paths!

This was Chi Cheng’s answer!

BOOM!

The Heavy Sword blotted out the sky, an unstoppable force, bearing down on him like the crushing weight of the cosmos itself!

All manner of Magic suddenly materialized around his body.

But all this Magic was crushed and destroyed the instant it appeared!

Intuition told Lu Cang.

The only choice was to meet him head-on with a single, powerful blow!

Extreme Battle Intent was merely the entry-level threshold to the true path of a Warrior. A Warrior who truly wished to ascend to the peak had to comprehend their own path.

Just like a Sword Saint comprehending the Sword Dao.

And Chi Cheng, with Lu Cang’s help, had taken that step...

Lu Cang tightened his grip on his War Spear.

’Then... bring it on!’

The Heaven-Ascending Realm of Perfection had already been active for some time.

In an instant, the Body Refining Techniques of all his Combat Skills circulated throughout Lu Cang. His body shimmered with a brilliant, multicolored light, radiating the glow of a saint from the inside out!

BOOM!

Lu Cang thrust his War Spear forward in a sudden, violent strike!

It clashed with the Heavy Sword that seemed to fill the entire world!
